The Blue Angels will be in town at Goodyear(Phoenix) Airport the 21st and 22nd. Anyone else going to this show in AZ??? I am going with a bunch of family and this will be the first air show my little girl attends. Will make sure to take lots of pictures and video.

Sorry to hear that. What an interesting time to be in Korea though. Best of luck to you! We will think of you!

Too bad Phoenix doesnt have the biggest choke of a football team....o wait, yes they do!

At least we don't have fans leaving the stadium at the beginning of the fourth quarter to beat traffic - even if we were ahead by 30 points

As the local Fox sports guy said it...they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory

On a serious note, back to the subject of the thread...I have one extra VIP patio ticket for the airshow - if anyone is going and would like it, I need to know right away so I can transfer the name - $35.00

YEah tell me about it.. the Dbacks stink.. the coyotes stink.. the cards..nuff said...The only hope we have is the Suns... I do wonder if the managers, coaches and players for the first three teams mentioned are drinking from the same tainted water supply?? What really stinks is Im a season ticket holder for the Coyotes (first time) and man there not doing a darn thing..

about the airshow.. Should be fun.. Going both days.. Taking dad the first day and then my girlfriend the second.. What Im REALLY looking forward to is Aviation Nation out at Nellis... Gonna be a good show. Check out www.nellisairshow.com for more info...

yeah the nellis show might be worth taking a trip up there...that would be very cool to see the raptor fly.

Saw the Raptor last year during the heritage flight.. I got to see it takeoff and that in itself was impressive.. cant wait to see it do its thing at Nellis..

Nellis... Aviation Nation... I can't wait either. We, the VTB, will be there as well. Should be a great show!!!!

Yep, as a matter of fact, you may run into the entire Virtual Thunderbird squad as well! Not to take anything away from the Raptor, eheh!

Posted: **Tue Oct 17, 2006 11:26 pm**

Are the VTbs going to have anything set up as far as a booth or something goes? Or just fightin the crowd like the rest of us.

Cant wait to go.. Im arriving the 9th just so I can have at least one day for R and R.. gonna be a busy three days.. Gonna do the practice on Friday and walk the line both Sat and Sun.. YEAH BABY!!!!

We won't be showing for a vendor, but you will be able to spot us amongst the crowd (maybe just on the other side of the fence at times). We'll post more details in a week or two, if you want to meet and greet in person...

Let's get back to the topic for this weekend's air show in Phoenix now!
